FAKE: Sneak-peek of new Chinese stealth fighter (NOT J-20!)

[UPDATE: The picture is now confirmed as fake. No wonder then it evoked the F-35 so convincingly.]

Deino, a reliable poster of authentic imagery of the latest Chinese military aircraft on Secret Projects, has posted this image today. It’s clearly not the Chengdu J-20.

Deino has titled the image the JH-XX, perhaps implying a stealthy version of the Xian JH-7 fighter-bomber. It’s difficult to tell much about the overall design. It seems to replicate the forward fuselage chine and forward-swept, diverterless inlet of another stealth fighter — the Lockheed Martin F-35. Hmmm …
